Mohamed walks through their Modern Guild case study in detail: the client helps sophomore and junior university students break into finance and consulting internships, and the campaign worked because the offer matched exactly what the audience already wanted. The data source was unconventional — LinkedIn groups where students had publicly left their university emails while asking for internship opportunities, scraped via PhantomBuster, enriched through Clay, and deployed on Dripify. He also breaks down his full campaign process: discovery questionnaires, two-week domain warmup on Smartlead, copy structured around hook → value prop → credibility line → low and high friction CTAs, and their in-house tool InReach which pulls contacts across 30+ vendors including Apollo, ZoomInfo, and BetterContact. We get into his journey into GTM engineering through ISkala's CEO — one of the earliest people to define the role in the MENA region — why LinkedIn groups are one of the most underrated data triggers available today, and how Claude has cut his campaign creation time from four hours down to five minutes. He closes with the same advice he'd give any beginner: learn to build a strong offer first, then learn to work with data.Enjoy 🙂(0:00) Introduction to The GTM Engineer Podcast (0:22) What ISkala Business Solutions Does and Who They Serve (1:43) Modern Guild Case Study: Scraping LinkedIn Groups for University Emails and 7,000+ Signups (3:52) Full Campaign Build: Data Enrichment, Copy Structure, and Tool Stack (5:56) Breaking Down the Modern Guild Offer and Why It Worked (7:47) Mohamed's Path Into...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/_OACHDe9ElXR9DTbOLoP4tR2qTxfhcBnxoBX4sm6BJ4/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8yOGJi/ZGE0ZmU3YmNhNjhm/ZDg0NGRiNTFmMmIw/NzEwNC5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
